2 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

There are several differences     1     which you need to be aware when it comes to British and American English. For example, while talking to an English person, it is better     2     (use) words such as excuse me, sorry, pardon me, and please whenever possible. Believe me, not using these words is considered rude     3     (behave) in the UK.

If you’re at work and get angry at your boss, don’t say “I’m pissed” to     4     British colleague (同事). In England, pissed     5     (actual) means drunk, so he might report your state to the boss. There is still hope for you, though: if your boss     6     (be) an American, he’ll understand that you’re just annoyed (恼火的) with him,     7     — let’s face it — is completely normal.

When nature calls, you’d better not use a     8     (confuse) word to find your way to the facilities. Here’s where the English help     9     (we) — they use the word toilet (both for the public and private one). Public toilet is also called the gents or the ladies. Americans, surprisingly, tend to be much     10     (careful) about the topic and use the word bathroom, and in the public building — a restroom or men’s room or ladies’ room.
